Pros

Great health care benefits and good ability to work from home. That's it.

Cons

Everything is self service- all apps that one has to use, but they aren't intuitive, help desk is an hour wait on the phone, and search tools for online help are ineffective. They get most of their employees through acquisitions, promise bonus programs, and renege on them. Pay is below par, it's such a huge organization that you can't see the value you add, and no raises. I worked 12 hours a day as I dealt with marketing groups across the globe. It was hell on earth. I'm 55 years old, have worked at many companies of varying sizes, and have never felt so undervalued, ineffective, and used. I couldn't get out of there fast enough- but it took me nearly two years.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
